PAWTUCKET â€“ The night was August 10, 2012. The setting was Clevelandâ€™s Progressive Field.

In the top of the ninth inning of that nightâ€™s American League contest between Boston and Cleveland, Will Middlebrooks had an Esmil Rogersâ€™ pitch go off his right wrist that proved to be the final pitch he would see in his rookie season. A few days later, Middlebrooks was diagnosed with a broken wrist.

PAWTUCKET â€“ Daniel Nava is officially a member of the Pawtucket Red Sox. The struggling outfielder/first baseman joined the Triple-A ranks on what was a busy Friday at McCoy Stadium.

Manager Kevin Boles wasted little time of throwing Nava into the fray, placing the switch hitter in the No. 3 spot in the outfield and in left field. Nava is looking to get back on track after getting off to a .147 start in 17 games for the Red Sox.

PAWTUCKET â€“ Matt Barnes will not be part of Pawtucketâ€™s rotation at the onset of the 2014 International League season. A sore shoulder limited the 23-year-old to just one inning in spring training.

Red Sox Director of Player Development Ben Crockett didnâ€™t provide a definitive timetable at Tuesdayâ€™s PawSox Media Day fete at McCoy Stadium, though it was encouraging to learn that the Barnes is pitching in extended spring training down in Fort Myers, Fla.

If thereâ€™s one thing I regret about the article regarding the yeomanâ€™s work on the part of Providence Collegeâ€™s athletic training staff, itâ€™s that thereâ€™s no quotes from Ken White, the schoolâ€™s strength coach.

Like head athletic trainer Bryn VanPatten, White has been plying his trade at PC for some time â€“ heâ€™s currently in his 10th year at the college. One quote that didnâ€™t make the article - http://www.woonsocketcall.com/node/10821 - should help shed some light on the working relationship between VanPatten and White.
